Should i remove leaves beneath the top?
jjTomtomstarted grow question 4d ago
Hello, me again with another question.
So I just topped the plant, now i was wondering if i should remove the growth beneath the upper set of leaves.
I've seen videos explaining why you should do it and why you shouldn't.
Whats your experience?
Appreciate all the help so far!

Hey there that’s a great question I see a lot of people make this mistake
No I don’t think you should cut off any leaves at this time. At this time your plant needs all the real estate of leaves as possible. The more leaf matter you have at this time will allow your plant to absorb more light and do more photosynthesis in a day allowing it to grow more roots and grow more plant matter quicker.
I will leave all the leaves on my plants until the point the leaves are all over each other this give the plant a good start
Your plant looks healthy just let it keep growing for a couple weeks and then reevaluate what todo with leaves and such
TruTraTrianswered grow question 4d ago
Right now, I would leave the lower growth alone. After topping, the plant needs those leaves to recover and power new shoots. Later, once side branches are established and you see which ones are strong, you can clean up weak lower growth if needed. Early defoliation right after topping just slows things down. Let her stack some energy first.

Yellow Spots on LeafesSome leaves have developed yellow / light spots. I also have thrips in my tent, but I doubt they are the cause of these signs because they have been there for a year, and I have always been able to keep them under control and the spots they cause look diffrently. Ty for advise.

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the othersIm just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it?
I added 3 pics, 1st one showing the meh one

Normal trichomes or something bad?Dumb question, I started noticing this on my leaves. I recently battled with insane humidity which I was just recently able to fix, and was wondering if this is normal/my usual over worrying or if it's some sort of mold/mildew/fungus or something I should actually worry about.

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tipsShowing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough.
Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.

What is this Jawn on my Leaf Device?What is this on the leaves? Brand new clone 1 hour in my ownership. I sprayed her with Bonide Captain Jacks Copper Fungicide in case it is PM. Doesn't look like PM though. Looks almost like hard water deposits. What do you guys think?

Tiny holes!?This morning while looking I noticed tiny little holes on some of the leaves on one of my plants. I didn't see any pests with my eye, and I tried to use my phone the best I could but couldn't see any. I've also heard this could be environmental/viral. Any thoughts or ideas?

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?
